VENUS IN CANCER

Can I tell you a secret? You don’t have to be in a relationship.    I mean it. I know they force it down your throat until you choke on it. Girls aren’t pretty unless they’re wanted. Boys aren’t men unless they’re having sex with someone. People aren’t lovable until they’re dating someone.    But a relationship won’t always make you happy, and as wonderful as romance is, it isn’t the only love that exists. I have seen friendships that are deeper and more pure than couples who swear it’s forever - and yet the friendship is the one people ignore.    I have heard so often “nobody loves me” out of the mouths of people who are single. And it kills me because if you ask them: where are your parents, your teachers, your classmates, your pets - they say, yes, okay, but it doesn’t count. Of course it counts, love doesn’t diminish just because someone doesn’t want to have sex with you. In fact, doesn’t it sort of make that love more real that they want nothing - not even a date - out of you?   It is pretty to be in love. It’s magical, I’m sure. But it’s also wonderful to stop for ice cream in your prom dress with six other girls. It’s also wonderful to go visit the world with nothing but a bunch of buddies who are really excited about learning.    The problem is: we’ve made everything about “the one”. But maybe “the one” is just you, loving yourself, having fun, and being happy. Maybe instead of looking for our other halves, we should be piecing ourselves together.   Maybe I wasn’t born unfinished. Maybe I am the one who makes myself better.

Cancer Traits: You have a strong intuitive understanding of the vibes around you. You don’t scatter away but instead face it head on and your entirety. You build walls so that you can still experience life without the need to check out completely from realities. Your courage and strength is understated because they do not know how it is like to be as sensitive as you but still deal with it.

Dear Cancer:

You cradle the souls that come your way. The beaten, the lost, the needing, and the broken look to you in the night like you were the Moon in the sky. They come to you in the night and leave with the Sun when they’re better, but only those that truly love you stay for another night. How you wish you could meet more people who value your nurturing Moon than that radiant blaring Sun some call life. Those that leave with the Sun and come back again for the night will only be met with cold indifference.. and you say, “let the wild beasts of the night feast on their bones” as the lack of the glowing Moon bury them in darkness.

Taemin’s a cancer! (like me!) This explains so much!!

Kpop Natal Chart – Lee Taemin

Lee Taemin is a dancer and vocalist in the boyband SHINee. He is known for his beautiful looks, killer dancing skills, and goofy maknae behavior. When not dancing or hanging out with his friends Jongin and Moonkyu, you can find him staring off into space or pouting about not getting his way. All joking aside, this man is fun, interesting, and seriously talented, and it would be well worth our time to look into his astrological placements.

Taemin has his natal Sun in Cancer, making his self-expression and identity (Sun) colored by imaginative musings, self-protection, and a warm, soft touch (Cancer). Cancerian energy can be thought of like a crab; there’s a lot of soft, tender meat on the inside if you can get through the hard, tough shell. And indeed, there’s a soft, tender inside to Taemin that he will only show you if he considers you his family. Otherwise, it’s the hard-shelled Taemin you’ll get, still warm and loopy and imaginative, but not vulnerable and needy, as he also exists. This Cancer Sun placement also gives Taemin an off-the-wall sense of humor and a unique perspective on the world, highly influenced by his subjective sense of things. Fun, sensitive, and reserved – as Taemin shows us, it’s an enigmatic combo.

Taemin’s natal Moon is also in Cancer, meaning his emotional well-being (Moon) acts much like his ego, giving him a sensitive core with a need for attention and nurturing care (Cancer). Taemin’s well-being depends on his ability to give and receive from his friends and family, his ability to nurture and be nurtured by the ones he loves. There’s a possibility for taking things too personally and being hurt easily. It’s because of his sensitive inner nature, which for all the inconvenience it brings also gives a deep empathy and love for others. With this deep sensitivity comes an unshakable sense of protection for those he is close to, and he would do anything for his small group of friends and family. Lastly, all this Cancer energy makes Taemin resistant to change, preferring a stable, secure, cozy life to the new and unknown. As Jonghyun has mentioned, SHINee has been wearing skinny jeans for the longest time, and with this comeback’s new look of baggy jeans… well, poor Taemin will have to adjust.

Taemin’s Mercury is in, you guessed it, Cancer. A triple Cancerian threat this Taemin is. Basically, having a Mercury in Cancer makes his intellectual mind and communication style (Mercury) passive-aggressive, slow but highly retentive, and subjective. Though perhaps a little withdrawn and socially awkward, a person with this placement can be a great listener. Picking up on other’s feelings comes easily, so outwardly asserting oneself can be difficult. This is where the passive-aggression comes in! When someone cannot read a Cancerian’s mind, a Cancerian can become upset and quietly hint at what’s bothering them, not feeling comfortable with coming out and saying what they mean. And here is where Lee Taemin stands, most likely to pout when he doesn’t get his way. Typical maknae behavior. (Just kidding, Taemin, we love you.)

Finally, Taemin has his natal Venus in Gemini. This is a very fun placement, meaning his relationship style and aesthetic sense (Venus) is flighty, witty, variable, and friendly (Gemini). Taemin is playful in relationships and can be a bit of a tease, enjoying the tit-for-tat of flirty conversation while not looking to settle with anyone immediately. Come on too strong and you’ll scare the Gemini Venus away, best to keep things lighthearted and fun. Taemin needs variety and stimulation in a relationship, and if you can catch his interest he will give you hours of belly-aching laughter and compliments and affection.

There is so much lost of this astrological portrait due to not knowing his exact birth time, so beyond examining planetary aspects, this is the closest we can get to Lee Taemin. Still, it was interesting to look into the many iterations of Cancer energy in Taemin’s chart, and to end it off with a light Gemini in Venus touch. Taemin is a handsome, talented idol who has grown into a truly wonderful man, and it is such a pleasure to see him perform in SHINee. Lee Taemin, I hope you feel the love us shawols have for you, and please stay strong and healthy <3
